Week One: Saturday
When: Night
Where: Commons Room
Who: Jasper and Cassandra
A movie night. It was still sort of odd to Jasper to plan something like that. Typically if it were anyone but his brother asking he would politely refuse and probably spend his night buried in a book or take a walk around the school for awhile. Jasper was the sort of person that preferred to read a story rather then view one. More then that though he never quite knew how to act when it came to stuff like that. Were you supposed to stay quiet through the whole movie? Were you supposed to comment on everything? It was all sort of confusing for him. But since Cassandra was the one asking and he felt more comfortable around her then a lot of others he had agreed just like the time before.
Plus with so many people out tonight in the city it was pretty unlikely that anyone would happen upon the small commons room that they planned to watch the movie in. It was sort of secluded one, off down a hallway that most never used. It was a commons room that Jasper often hide away in to read when the weather outside just was too difficult to try to find shelter in.
Through the day Jasper had stayed to his room though which was pretty unlike him. But he wanted to catch Micah before he left for whatever he had planned for the night. It wasn’t that he really had anything he needed to say or anything. He just liked to actually see his brother from time to time. Micah was always out and about and the two didn’t really cross paths all that often. Jasper was used to it but every now and again he managed to make sure he’d cross his brother’s path for awhile.
From the room he did some work on the computer though. Helping out some teachers he ordered rare books, helped organize files, and even reviewed some online tests for a class and sent an email to the teacher with notes on what he thought was good and what would be better reworded so it wouldn’t sound like a trick question. He liked being helpful and he knew the teachers appreciated it which was all the payment Jasper needed for tasks like that.
Like he had thought just before sunset his brother came crashing into the room. Set to get ready for something or another. They hung out for a little bit but Jasper didn’t want to make Micah late for whatever he was doing, Jasper’s guess was the club to listen to the music by local bands. And he didn’t want to be late in meeting Cassandra, late was something Jasper didn’t like to be at all. Even if it was just a meeting with friends or something casual..he always tried to be early all the same.
It was also his job to bring snacks apparently so he had to make sure to leave himself time to go by the cafeteria.
A hooded sweatshirt was tugged on over a plain black tshirt. Jeans were ragged and worn but Jasper didn’t mind. His shoes had seen better days, really all the outfit had, but Jasper was comfortable. He gave a wave to Micah before leaving, his bag slung over his shoulder that would soon enough be filled with some snacks. Popcorn, veggies and dip, juice, he wasn’t the chips and soda type.
A little early Jasper found himself in the commons room, the snacks put on the table before he tucked himself away near to the window to smoke. He preferred to go outside but he didn’t think he had time. So just having his head nearly out the window while he smoked would have to do.
